I just gave myself an electrical shock

I just gave my right hand a nice strong jolt from an open power supply. I could feel the 60 hz AC cycling through my hand. No burns or anything, and I can still type fine obviously. Should I be worried or should I go to a hospital soon?
 


<< You should be fine, except that now you will have a new respect for electricity. >>



LOL. That's good to hear.
 
yeah, you'll be fine, i used to do that all the time, as long as you hvae all feeling, you should be ok, just dont do it again!! 🙂
 
tisk, tisk..


did anyone ever tell you to discharge those capacitors in the power supply before opening it?
 


<< You should be fine, except that now you will have a new respect for electricity. >>


Yeah, all it takes is once. Learned my lesson many years ago trying to pull a lamp plug out of a wall socket.
 
Meaning: discharge anywhere else than your body...
Just make sure you aren't grounded from your feet when you zap next time, it will be a whole lot worse if the electricity runs right through you!
